Feedback Request NWFA V3.1 Beta Preview - Check out the new version of NWFA

[Joe Link]

As some of you know, we've been working on the next Northwest Firearms website update since late last year. The main focus of this update is ease of use, many of the changes a result of member feedback. We're making this beta version available to our members to give everyone a chance to provide feedback, identify issues, and get aclimated to the new version before the official update. We hope to go live with this version mid-January.

As with most beta previews, the update in it's current form is going to be rough around the edges. We rely on our members to help us find and identify potential issues as well as provide thoughts and suggestions, so please don't be shy. All feedback helps.

Switching between versions is done in the Preferences menu.







Thanks again for your help and support!

Cheers,
Joe Link

I've set aside this afternoon for Q & A

The scrolling marquis near the top takes up a lot of real estate. Nice feature though.
So far I'm able to navigate around pretty easily. Other than adjusting to the newness of the layout without having any problems. I do like the way the old layout seemed to offer more visual cues when you first log on though. With the beta it seems that you have to seek out destinations via drop downs. Nothing wrong with that, it's clean and efficient but it's just different.
I'm using a BlackBerry Passport, which I use about 80% of the time.

Yeah, still working on those

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not positive we'll be staying with the scrolling marquee, we may go back to individual notifications in that area, go with small overlays in the bottom right, or a combination of the two. Can you explain what you mean by visual cues?

 

[trigger-happy]

Awesome! Thanks for looping us in. I'm a web developer and looking forward to giving feedback.

I like it!!!!! More Options for Navigating with in thread is a real plus, and I see it easy to use. I like the new look as well, stands out better! Well done! I didn't see any problems but if I run into anything, will be sure to speak up!

I'm seeing the responsive layout, and also my cmd-up arrow on my mac work now to scroll to the top of a page.

I like it, but what do I know? I'm just a stupid and deplorable Donald Trump supporter!

I could not have said it better!

 

[PiratePast40]

My bad - didn't click the "save changes" button. Navigating it now and discovering the new features. Looks good so far.

 

[Libertas7]

I like how the bar on top stays with the screen!

 

[Ura-Ki]

+1 on the Bar at the top, no longer have to scroll back up to see alerts or other changes while in thread! This makes a back button unneeded for in thread use!

 

[Flopsweat]

Like the floating toolbar, and the scrolling marquee. The background seems brighter. I don't like that.

I know that you are going for pc's first, Joe, but I use an iPad. When ever I expand an image or text by fingers, on the screen, (that's a LOT), the inbox, alert and avatar/handle expand down into the area being expanded! I really HATE that! Thanks! SRG

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far!

Actually I want to make sure it works well on all devices (or at minimum, the most widely used). This is a bug we're working on, hopefully we'll get it figured out soon

 

[Ura-Ki]

Works great on my Tablet, my Laptop, and Desktop! No issue with phone ether!

I like the wider format. The whereabouts of everything, compared to v3.0 will take some getting use too. That will come in time.

I use an iPhone-6s with iOS-10.1.1

When I use either left/right arrow on the upper-right of my virtual keyboard to move the cursor (see attached photo), the webpage slams all the way to the bottom then I have to scroll back up... plus the cursor has to be "woken up" again in the text-box. The Space bar, backspace key, and return key all work fine, but the cursor left/right keys don't.


See the cursor left/right keys directly left of "P" & "L"...




This is what happens, "slam-scrolls" all the way to the bottom:




It'd be REALLY cool if those would work here on NWFA again..

I'll have to try it on my desktop at work as it doesn't work on my iPhone......
